Writing a C++ extension for PHP 5

PHP is a great language that is powerful enough to build a rock-solid, enterprise-class, real world website.
C++ is a great language that let's you express with style and rigor high performance and possibly low-level piece of software.

At Yakaz, we've brought those two worlds together, and this post is just about it.
We'll first present the process of creating a C extension to PHP, then adapt it to C++ cleanly and neatly, before packaging it for Debian.
